Turn a raw CSV into a proper workbook
CSV to Excel imports a plain CSV into a real .xlsx workbook so you
get typed cells, formatting, and formula support instead of a text file. Pick
the delimiter your file actually uses: comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe, which
matters for exports from non-English locales where semicolons are common.

Is the CSV to XLSX tool private?
Yes. Your file is uploaded over encrypted HTTPS, processed, handed back, and then deleted — the upload goes the moment the CSV to XLSX operation finishes and the result the instant you download it, with an hourly sweeper as a backstop. Unlike closed tools that just claim they don't keep your files, Forge Files's code is fully open source, so you can verify exactly how the CSV to XLSX tool handles your data — or self-host it. No account, no watermark, no upsell. See our privacy details for the full picture.
